Buddy's K9 Training ("we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit our website, submit a form, schedule or request services, communicate with us, or otherwise interact with services that reference this Privacy Policy.

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

• Contact information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, mailing address, city, state, and ZIP code.

• Communications and consent records, including form submissions, communication preferences, SMS and email opt-in or opt-out history, consent timestamps, source information, and other records needed to honor your communication choices.

• Payment or transaction-related information when you purchase a paid service or product. Payment-card information may be processed directly by a third-party payment provider rather than stored by us.

• Technical and device information, including IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, user agent, referral URLs, pages viewed, session information, and website interaction information.

• Cookie, analytics, and advertising information when those technologies are enabled on our website.

• Other information you voluntarily provide to us through forms, messages, surveys, uploaded materials, or other communications.

HOW WE USE INFORMATION

We may use personal information to:

• Provide requested dog training services, appointments, registrations, programs, purchases, experiences, or customer support.

• Respond to inquiries and communicate with you about requests or relationships you initiate.

• Prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, or other harmful activity.

• Maintain records of consent, opt-in, opt-out, and other compliance activity.

• Comply with legal obligations and enforce applicable agreements.

EMAIL, SMS, AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

Providing your contact information does not automatically grant permission for every type of marketing communication.

Where offered, marketing email and marketing SMS/text permissions may be requested separately.

We may also send transactional or service-related communications that are reasonably necessary to complete or support an appointment, registration, purchase, request, or other interaction you initiated, subject to applicable law.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the unsubscribe option included in the message.

If you enroll in an SMS/text messaging program, you may opt out at any time by replying STOP. Additional SMS terms are contained in our Terms and Conditions.

SMS AND MOBILE INFORMATION

Mobile telephone numbers, SMS opt-in information, and SMS consent records collected through our SMS programs will not be disclosed to third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may provide this information to service providers that help us operate our messaging services when necessary to send or manage communications on our behalf, subject to applicable law and appropriate restrictions.

COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

We may use cookies and similar technologies for essential website functions, preferences, analytics, security, and, when enabled, advertising or marketing measurement.

Your browser or device may provide controls that allow you to limit or disable certain cookies. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some portions of the website.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS

We may use third-party service providers and technology partners to operate our website and provide requested services.

These providers may include:

• Website hosting, content-delivery, storage, security, and infrastructure providers.

• Customer relationship management, forms, scheduling, and workflow providers.

• Email and SMS communication providers.

• Payment, commerce, booking, or transaction providers.

• Analytics, measurement, advertising, and marketing providers.

• Customer support, event, media, or other service-specific providers.

These providers may process information on our behalf or under their own terms and privacy policies, depending on the service and relationship.

HOW WE DISCLOSE INFORMATION

We may disclose personal information:

• To service providers and contractors that support our operations or provide requested functionality.

• To affiliated or related entities when appropriate for the relationship and permitted by law.

• To comply with applicable law, legal process, regulatory requests, or enforceable governmental demands.

• To protect the rights, safety, security, or property of Buddy's K9 Training, our customers, users, service providers, or the public.

• In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar business transaction.

• When you direct or consent to the disclosure.

Nothing in this section changes the restrictions described above regarding mobile opt-in information, SMS consent records, and telephone numbers used for an SMS program.

DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing services, maintaining business and consent records, resolving disputes, protecting security, satisfying legal obligations, and enforcing agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the circumstances in which it was collected.

DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information.

However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

YOUR CHOICES AND PRIVACY RIGHTS

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or portability of certain personal information, or to request information concerning certain ways in which your information is processed.

You may also have rights to opt out of certain marketing, targeted advertising, sale, or sharing activities where applicable.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
